subtract the two expressions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x+4 }{ 2x } - \frac{ x }{ x-4 }\]

OpenStudy (theeric):

Oh, this is trickier than the last one!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah...

OpenStudy (theeric):

I have to look at this for a little bit..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{x+4}{2x}-\frac{x}{x-4}\] Least common denominator. \[(\frac{x+4}{2x})\frac{x-4}{x-4}-(\frac{x}{x-4})\frac{2x}{2x}\] \[\frac{x^2-16}{2x(x-4)}-\frac{2x^2}{2x(x-4)}\] Now add normally.

OpenStudy (theeric):

Wow.... Why didn't I think of that immediately? Thanks! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By add I mean subtract. Or maybe add negatively?

OpenStudy (theeric):

Haha, that works!
